What the media chose not to know about Trayvon Martin

That's the media, and even the public, for you. They can skew a story to lean however they choose. There's a local case where a school teacher sold some unused supplies to pay for an educational field trip. The teacher had the permission of the department head, but not the principal, thinking the department head had cleared it with the appropriate figures. He was charged with theft and fired a few weeks short of reaching tenure.

Meanwhile, the media simply put "School teacher charged with felony grand larceny" and every person who commented on the local news stories were crying to have this guy hung for being a bad role model to teens. It's one of the reason I can't stomach reading the papers anymore.
